Throughout all of its myriad conceptual reinventions over the years, one thing has always remained the same: dinner here is an event above all else.

There's a special playfulness and thoughtfulness about it all - you might get a kitchen tour, or a tableside show, or a gift bag at the end of the meal.

Lifetime ban on smoked meat?), one thing is for certain - a pastrami on rye at 12am on a Friday will never, ever get old. There are other hits on the menu besides pastrami, of course - griddle-cooked hot dogs, corned beef, matzo ball soup - all of which are deeply embedded in Jewish deli canon and can make even your worst day feel immeasurably better, but it's not the pickles or the soup that makes Katz's one of the only restaurants in New York beloved by tourists and locals alike.
More accurately, a mountain of traditional Jewish deli pastrami that's cured for 14 to 30 days, topped with an even layer of mustard, sandwiched between two slices of rye bread, and served alongside a plate of pickles (preferably sour ones), which, on their own, could have been enough to make Katz's iconic. © įorget, for a second, everything you know about Meg Ryan and her fake orgasm noises and focus on one thing: pastrami.
